I'm a simple engineer..
And civil engineers would have to deal with it
I'm a mechanical engineer...
Those civil engineers ought to be held accountable along with the place setters and accompanying supervisors and workers, everyone who had a part in this bridge...
Mmmm. The workers,, are they really guilty if they only took direct orders from their supervisors.. I'm not sure...
But I feel the design/construction civil engineers are clear suspects in this...
Btw, Im suppose to be a mech. Engineer too a sort of,, I'm told.
I have no clue what civil engineers ^^ are
The two groups involved in a structural failure such as the WTC are the ASCE and the ASME. NIST also tends to get involved.
The ASME sets material standards and the ASCE is the Civil Engineering Society.
ASME members in general build weapons while the ASCE members build targets but they both can do structural analysis mainly using CAD tools to apply methods such as "Finite Element Analysis".
Since a bridge is a "target" it is more of an ASCE issue.
I'm lookin into it ASCE forbid
Thats neat... Wonder if they could do the same on a complete bridge structure... pro
bably ?
I remember doing a simple version ^^ for a beam on piece of paper... That took some time, and drawing of interconnected diagrams..
